Twenty-five years ago, sometime in July 1991, I received a call from Rick Telberg, then editor of Accounting Today. I had known Rick from my previous stay with his company and turned to him that year when I needed a job, but none were available. But he had a new message:

Blackbaud reported double-digit growth in net income and revenue for the second quarter ended June 30. The company said it had strong performance across the company as it reported $7.8 million in net income, up 10.9 percent from slightly more than $7 million in last year's corresponding period.

Tribridge has been named Partner of the Year by Scribe Software. Scribe says the rewards to Miami, Fla.-based Tribridge and other recipients are for those organizations "that have delivered innovative integration solutions as well as generating the greatest bookings and bookings growth for Scribe's cloud-based and on-premises integration platforms." 

Avalara has enhanced CertCapture, its software that enables users to capture, manage, and analyze tax compliance documents in real-time. Important new features include what the company called a simplified user interface for use in point-of-sale systems. There is also a single sign-on to exemption certificate management.
